'Ukraine gets nothing': Boris Johnson slams Trump’s peace plan

He wrote about this on social media platform X.

Johnson argued that Putin is indiscriminately killing Ukrainian civilians, yet he is being offered: to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory seized by force; to control Ukraine’s future by denying its NATO membership; to have sanctions lifted; to enjoy economic cooperation with the U.S.; and to rebuild his military for another invasion in a few years.

“As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?” Johnson said.

He added that the proposed peace plan contains nothing capable of truly preventing another Russian invasion.

“If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies,” Johnson stressed.
